In spite of the worst June weather for I many years, the oeachhead in Normandy had not only been firmly secured bu~ troops and supplies had been landed at rates that estaolished an assured future local superiority; I the harbor of Cherbourg was in our possession; decisive superiority in the air and in motorized divisions were dest·roying enemy reserves more rapidly than they could be I thrown into combat. We had carried out our promise to the Rus'§ ians to establish a second front_ ~1. I The recent visit of General de Gaulle to Washington gave some promise of better cooperation with " the French Liberation Committee, although British and I American press continued to criticise our non-recognition polioy. Some few individual writers were beginlling to point out that General de Gaulle appeared to be more interested I in his own political future than in driving the Germans out of France. I (b) 'MEDITERRANEAN. Allied armies were st ill pursuing the retreating German armies in Northern Italy .. The Germans were believed to be preparing a strong line north of Florence I and Pisafor a final stand. The Prime Minister had urged strongly that we abandon the so-called ArNIL operat ion (an attack on the southern coast of France) in order that our I amphibious forces might be available to press attacks in the northern Adriatic.

Some pessimists feared that the Russians might not carry out their part of the 1944 assault. Although the Russian drive began slowly in late June, by July 13th it'had increased steadily in power 'and effectiveness and was on that date underway along the entire front with a momentum and. drive that appeared irresistible. It appeared to many, both among the Allies and among the neutrals, that the final destruc­ tion of Germany was certain and that it would be accomplished within the year 1944.

Since 1983, Make-A-Wish San Diego has granted over 4,600 life-changing wishes for children in San Diego and Imperial Counties. At Make-A-Wish, the goal is simple: to come into a child’s life during a difficult time and provide hope and a much-needed break from the daily challenges they are forced to face. A wish can provide experiences that money just can’t buy. A wish has the power to change a child’s mental state, provide desperately-needed respite for a family, and allow the child and his/her family to experience a sense of normalcy. We serve children from all areas of both San Diego and Imperial Counties and our demographics span every socio-economic and ethnic group. No eligible child is ever turned away, and a family’s financial status, race, or religion has no bearing on whether or not a child will receive a wish. I wish to have a gaming computer Tiba, 14 350+ nervous system disorder Wish Kids Currently Waiting For a Wish Did you know the average cost of a wish is $10,000?

  • Franklin D. Roosevelt Through Eleanor's Eyes
    Franklin D. Roosevelt Through Eleanor’s eyes EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Listen to Presidential at http://wapo.st/presidential This transcript was run through an automated transcription service and then lightly edited for clarity. There may be typos or small discrepancies from the podcast audio. LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: March 4, 1933. A grey and cold Inauguration Day. Outgoing president Herbert Hoover and incoming president Franklin Delano Roosevelt had on their winter coats, and they had blankets wrapped around their legs as they rode side-by-side in an open touring car from the White House to the East Portico of the Capitol building for Roosevelt's swearing in. There were secret ramps set up so that FDR could wheel himself nearly all the way to the stage. And then with the help of his son James, he propped himself out of the wheel chair and walked slowly to the lectern. He stared out at the crowd of Americans who were gathered there to watch his inauguration during these dark days of the Great Depression, and he took the oath of office. FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT CLIP LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: Roosevelt's hand was on his family's 250-year-old Dutch bible. The page was open to 1 Corinthians 13, which has the words: “Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes.

Making New Year’s resolutions are now being made in hopes that at least some of them will be met. While making your New Year’s resolutions, I hope that you will consider the goals of our AAUW branch and help make them a reality. The first goal is to increase membership. Thus, the question is, how many of you have encouraged a friend or new acquaintance to join our branch or will do so in 2019? The second goal is to increase fund raising to meet the needs of the operating expenses and those of the Branch projects. Thus, the question is how many of you have been active in supporting the fund raising events? There is always a job for each of you! My last question for your consideration is: How many of you regularly attend the general meetings and meetings of the special interest sections? I find that active participation in the above activities brings pleasure and a feeling of camaraderie among our members. I trust that you will do so also! I sincerely wish all of you a very happy, fulfilling and healthy 2019!

Over the next several weeks, President Roosevelt received INTERNMENT contradictory advice about further action. FDR’s military advisers recommended the exclusion of persons of foreign descent, including American citizens, from sensitive areas of the country as a safeguard against espionage and sabotage. The Justice Department initially resisted any relocation order, questioning both its military necessity and its constitutionality. But the shock of Pearl Harbor and of Japanese atrocities in the Philippines fueled already tense race relations on America’s West Coast. In the face of political, military, and public pressure, Roosevelt accepted the relocation proposal.

  • American Airways Ford Trimotor Transports FDR to Chicago Democratic Convention by Baird Wonsey and Marguerite Wonsey
    Virginia Aviation History Project * * * * * American Airways Ford Trimotor Transports FDR to Chicago Democratic Convention by Baird Wonsey and Marguerite Wonsey On July 2, 1932, an American Airways Ford Trimotor carrying the just-nominated Democratic candidate for president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt flew from Albany NY to Chicago IL to deliver his acceptance speech to convention delegates. It was the best publicity any airline had received to date. (Eagle, The Story of American Airlines, Robert J. Serling © 1985) Roosevelt made the flight in a Ford Trimotor flown by Capt. Ray D. Wonsey of American Airways and co-pilot Fred Clark Smith. No other presidential candidate had flown to such an event or immediately addressed convention delegates. Max J. Pollet, who served as American’s first Steward on the flight, was District Sales Manager for American’s Colonial division in Albany, NY. As it was Pollet’s job to promote air travel, he was key to the operation and coordinated much of airline’s effort. Passenger traffic was gradually increasing on the network of local air carriers that had become Wonsey & Baird photo courtesy Marguerite The crew of the Colonial Airways Trimotors pose with their American Airways in January 1930.
